Chapter 1102 Keep It A Secret
Natalie hadn’t left the café for long when she received news of Billy’s and fake Natalie’s return. Soon, she, too, arrived home.
Emma’s jaw dropped at the sight of the two identical Natalies. “W-What’s going on?” she stammered. “Why… are there two Ms. Nichols?”
“Can you tell which one of us is the real Natalie?” asked Natalie with a soft smile. Emma’s eyes darted between the two of them and grew even more bewildered. She couldn’t tell apart the two Natalies at all!
As such, Natalie decided not to tease the middle-aged lady any longer and shot a glance at the woman who was disguised as her. Having caught her hint, the woman took off the hyper-realistic mask, revealing her original appearance.
Disbelief was written all over Emma’s face when she saw that. “Oh my… T-This is scarier than magic!”
“Wonders will never cease in this boundless world of ours, Mrs. Bunton. Naturally, anything could happen, but some might be secrets that shouldn’t be revealed,” stated Natalie, her voice firm and resolute.
“I understand, Ms. Nichols. I won’t say anything I’m not supposed to.” Emma nodded fervently.
“Okay.” After Natalie relayed her instructions, the woman and Emma left the study. Natalie sat leisurely in the chair with her legs crossed. She shot Billy a look and queried, “How was your trip? Smooth sailing, I suppose?”
“A lot smoother than I expected. We mobilized a number of men to protect the substitute in secret, but they weren’t deployed at all.” At the mention of that, Billy furrowed his brows. “Logically speaking, although Blaze has kidnapped Yumi to threaten us, they could very well ambush us and steal the jade key. That would be an excellent move, but they didn’t do so.”
She nodded and fell into deep thought upon hearing that. I wasn’t expecting the substitute to come out of the situation completely unscathed.
